Custom Hand-Crafted Footwear

We handcraft each pair specifically for your order in our Addis Ababa workshop, using the highest quality and most sustainable materials.

The result: The comfiest, most creative footwear you've ever worn.

The sole in soleRebels

Continuing an age old tradition here in Ethiopia, we collect & sort used tires. Then we hand cut each and every one into soles, ensuring a perfectly fitted sole that is long lasting and very comfortable.

So a great indigenous recycling tradition endures, and best of all something that might otherwise go to waste now enjoys a dynamic + new + useful purpose while keeping our landfills less clogged AND SAVING CO2 from being emitted when landfill-bound tires are burned. Yikes!
